How do I achieve the coop objective "Queen must be dead"?
Quick answer
To achieve the "Queen must be dead" objective, players must deal enough injuries to the Queen Intruder so that the sum of the "blood" values from two drawn Intruder Attack cards is ≤ the number of Injury markers on her.
Details
- Locate the Queen: The Queen is a powerful Intruder miniature. Her presence is determined by the game’s progression and Intruder spawning rules.
- Deal Injuries: Use Shoot or Melee Attacks (or room actions like Defense Control Room) to inflict Injury markers on the Queen. Each successful attack adds 1+ Injury markers, depending on the weapon and dice rolls [p.21 — INTRUDER INJURIES AND DEATH].
- Check Injury Effect: After each attack, draw 2 Intruder Attack cards. Add the "blood" values (numbers in the upper-left corner). If the total ≤ the Queen’s Injury markers, she dies and is removed from the board. A Carcass token is placed in her Room [p.21 — INTRUDER INJURIES AND DEATH].
- Weaknesses: Discovering Intruder Weaknesses (via Laboratory research) may grant advantages against the Queen, such as modified damage rules or reduced "blood" values [p.23 — KNOWLEDGE AND WEAKNESSES].
Watch out: If the Queen draws a Retreat symbol on her Attack cards, she may flee to another Corridor, forcing players to pursue her. Injury markers remain unless she moves through a Technical Corridor [p.21 — INTRUDER RETREAT].
Watch out: The Queen cannot be killed if the Autodestruction sequence destroys the Facility while she is still alive [p.12 — END OF THE GAME]. Ensure her death occurs before this happens.
